1 Chronicles 29-30, 2 Chronicles 1-4

"David praised the LORD in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

'Praise be to you, O LORD, God of our father Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. Wealth and honor come from you; you are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power to exalt and give strength to all. Now, our God, we give you thanks, and praise you glorious name.

'But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.'"

I've already mentioned several times how David truly had a heart for God and how he knew the sovereignty of God. This constant reminder through God's word of his sovereignty will never get old. It is something we need to be reminded of always, because we forget so often.

We read in the bible so many examples of how God provides for his people. Everything is from him. How much do we believe that? I believe this is the main lesson that God teaches us as we walk with Jesus. How much do we trust him? Do we truly believe that these stories and promises in the bible are real?

I told you the other day that I know I lack faith in God. I believe the stories in the bible. I have heard testimony of God's miraculous provision in people's lives, including several people being fully healed of cancer! But in my prayers, I sense doubt... And my lack of faith reflects in the way I live.

Fear and doubt are not from God. How can they be? It's not in God's character. So we can be sure that whenever there's even a bit of fear and doubt in our hearts, it is from the Devil.

Let's promise to always remind each other, whether we fully believe it or not at the moment, that God, indeed, is sovereign over all things. And that he will make good of all that he has promised in his word. Let's look to God and praise him this day!
